Max Savery is with us since 2022. His research focuses on efficient spatio-temporal data collection. Particular attention goes to the development of optimal designs that integrate multiple types of data sources, for the purpose of more efficiently surveying difficult-to-collect spatio-temporal data. Furthermore, Max is supporting us with the master course in experimental design taught at the faculty of bioscience engineering.

Experience

During his bachelor’s degree Max focused on genetics, and was subsequently awarded research fellowship positions in genomics and medical informatics at the National Institutes of Health (United States, 2017-2020).
